One of our goals at SOLIDWORKS is to help students become successful. One way to do this is to supply them with the tools and resources they need to become the engineers and innovators of tomorrow. SOLIDWORKS is pleased to offer student design teams free Student Sponsorship.
Student teams have the choice of using our SOLIDWORKS desktop product, which includes over twelve powerful design, and engineering products. Or the 3DExperience platform, a cloud-based portfolio of integrated tools and apps. Teams can apply for both sponsorships separately if they choose.
